After Brigham Young Academy in Provo, Utah became an university, academics were separated into three areas, the College, the Normal School and the High School. The Department of Chemistry was organized in 1907 under the College, when the Department of Physical Sciences was divided. At the encouragement and recruiting of Brigham Young Academy president Benjamin Cluff, Jr., Charles Maw received a BS in Chemistry from Stanford University and immediately began teaching courses at Brigham Young University. When the College became the Church Teachers College in 1909 the department retained its name.
